So child 3 is a USA citizen.  You should file a CRBA 

How is child #3 a USC if he was born in 2021 but OP became a citizen in 2022?

Completely different things, i am just curious how can he commit such a fraud when everything was part of the process, may be best person to answer this is my friend and I will get back here and tell what he did. Thanks

People will very seldom tell you the truth, about there Immigration journey. Most at the time they forgot what they went thru, in the immigration process. My best friend is from Pakistan, He told me about his and his family's immigration journey, I knew it could not have been the way he said. He just forgot most of what he went thru.

Hello VJ experts,

I have very long and heart wrenching journey but I will cut it short. I applied for my wife in 2017 as lpr, by May 2019 she and my kids (born in 2018) had their interview in Pakistan but they were handed 221G and then I submitted all required docs but had no answer, I kept emailing them but they didn't move an inch and then covid and all the bans started, now back in DeC 2021 they reopened my case and asked for Medical, visa photos and passport and now I had a third child so I added him and then they schedule an interview for my newborn only obviously along with my wife and it happened on Feb 08 2022, this time VO said everything is good except for my passport which they haven't recieved, unfortunately we mailed the passport through the courier because it was for my wife and took the passport of newborn to embassy which they kept, my wife passport was mailed on 27 Jan 2022 and when I asked courier they said passport was received by embassy on 28 now I am not sure what happened to it, anyway till now my case was refused but now on 24 Feb it changed to AP, am I again in the long cycle of AP. I can't tell you how hard it is for me and my family and miss you kids childhood to be in AP for 3 years and now after second interview they have again put my family in AP, the frustration can not be define in words. Please guide me.

Thanks  

MONDAY IS UR LUCKY DAY    02-28-2022

Maybe it’s me, and I’m being very genuine in my question: how on Earth would a child born prior to his naturalization be a USC? My understanding is that CRBA can only be obtained when one of the parents was a USC at the time of birth. Again, very respectfully I ask anyone to point me if I’m mistaken, and to cite resources. This is a learning opportunity for me.

May be you are right, I have same understanding regarding CBRA but when my friend told me that you can apply CBRA for your kids as he did it for her daughter. Now only my friend can tell how he did it I will get back here with answer.

Yeah but as others have said, people don’t tell the full story. Maybe your friend’s daughter was born right after he became a USC. Maybe he forged the paperwork. Maybe the officer didn’t realize and let it slip. Who knows! But think about it: if one could file CBRA for a child that was born before you became a citizen, based on the presence test, many people would have done it. There’s a reason why people don’t get away with it.

I have read it.   Care to explain why you continue to insist that a child born a year prior to OP’s naturalization would be eligible for CRBA?   I would genuinely like to know.

Please don't waste time going down this path -- there is absolutely no (legal) pathway to a CRBA for a child born in 2021 if you did not naturalized until 2022.  If theses dates are correct (child born in 2021, you natuarlize in 2022), i am 100% sure there is no way the child qualifies for a CRBA.  It is dangerous compare your case to someone else's and do what they did, assuming that everything in both cases is exactly the same as it most likely are not. 

 

Inform the Consulate immediately that you naturalized right after the visa interview, not realizing what that meant for your the visa categories.  Ask them to please approve you filing the I-130s for each child at the Consulate.

 

The good news in the situation is that once your children enter the US with their immigrant visas to live with you, under the Child Citizenship Act they automatically become US citizens.
